@orkeilius Thanks for investigating. This issue is related to simber. However, the video you shared and the issue you are getting is probably because of the charcter ~ in the video.

I think we are not removing it before creating the song file right now.

A new release of simber is now published that should fix the above issue. I am closing this issue for now. In case this happens again, I can reopen this issue.
